5.0 out of 5 stars I wish every American knew more logic

This is a great book for inductive reasoning. I use it with my Bible students (even though it isn't a Bible study book) because it teaches them how to come up with possible interpretations and then to test the hypotheses to find the best answer. I have taught logic on the high school level and would have found this book very helpful to my students. If this book were coupled with Introduction to Logic, by Copi and Cohen, which is better on deductive arguments and fallacies, one would have a very good logic library.

This was a textbook I had in college 40 years ago. I had loned my copy to someone who never returned it so I was happy to find this again. Critical and Creative Thinking is one of the best and most important courses I ever took in college and this is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Dan Unger
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013
A superb book I used for many years in my applied logic class. The framework for the entire book consists of the 5 steps in scientific methodology: Identify and define the problem; gather information; form hypotheses; test hypotheses; decide and act. Virtually every chapter addresses some aspect of this methodology. The distinction between deductive and inductive inference is another key concept embedded in the book. Helpful exercises for each chapter provide excellent application of principles studied. Individual chapters are concise, easily readable. No wasted words!! I dare say serious attention to this book guarantees much improved reasoning skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Mental Hygiene going...for about $2.00!
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2008
I took a course in college (way back in the 70's) about critical thinking and this was our textbook. A wonderful book. Even today, I wonder why so many folks do not "think about things." They were not trained to do so, and we see this popping up in all sorts of ways. Bobblehead TV commentators and radio hosts being the most obvious examples.

Highly recommended. I have been looking for my copy in the "boxes in the garage" so I can give to my children; but if that search fails, I will buy some used copies and spread them around.

5.0 out of 5 stars A significant book
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2002
I first read this book as a 17 year old....that was a long time ago and it is still one of the books that has most affected my life (I am now 50 years old). It is in some ways a very simple book to read, but the totality of it's information in terms of its' effect on the thinking process is quite profound. If everyone read this book, our society would be markedly different, and much less superficial. Unfortunately most humans are not critical thinkers. It is not one of those mystical 'new wave' - "how to improve yourself" texts. It is information that can be applied to your everyday life from the trivial to the vastly important. It is a very basic building block on how to really understand what is going on and if what is being said has validity. I firmly believe it is a book that should be required reading of every educated freshman in college. It has given me the ability to continue to think "out of the box" and not become stagnant. I recommend it for anyone who values thinking.
